IF this isn't a conflict of interest, prosecutors and police in the same union - what the hell is? Doesn't matter if this is a city policie union, vs St. Louis County. There is enough crossover between these City and County police.

At least the prosecutors being in bed with the police formalizes the arrangement they had under McCulloch.

And McCulloch, was interviewed saying he had nothing to do with this, but understands why his staff would do this -- a supposed threat by incoming prosecutor Wesley Bell. McCulloch and former County police chief already on record saying Wesley Bell should make a death penalty case for accused of recent Catholic Supply murders (by a gun-nut Trumper)

McCulloch is exiting office through the gutter.

Thus far, the only one showing a lick of class is prosecutor-elect Wesley Bell

Quote:

“As a union member, I support and welcome the assistant prosecutors’ right to organize. The choice of the police union raises some questions, though we will work in good faith to minimize any cost to taxpayers or conflicts with the police union that this could represent.”
